SRC Flies

If there's anything I know less about than salmon flies (and at least I have caught salmon, albeit hatchery kings from the Salmon River in NY) it's sea-run cutthroat flies, but I do know pretty and the Borden Special is a pretty fly; maybe not this one so much.

I've had some luck with similar flies, especially Comets, but most of the shad fishing I do is on the Potomac in deep water/strong current and I usually have to use something heavier, even with a Teeny T250 line. My go-to "flies" have been 1/16 oz crappie jigs with Mr. Twister tails, a real joy to cast, especially when the wind is up.
